Backstage News on CM Punk’s Return, Costas Talks McMahon, Bateman

– Bob Costas talked about his 2001 HBO interview with Vince McMahon in a new interview with Piers Morgan on CNN. In the video below, Costas reads a statement from McMahon 12 years later:

– Former WWE star Derrick Bateman, who was cut on Friday, can be reached for bookings at MichaelHutter10@gmail.com.

– Everything regarding CM Punk’s return to action is being kept quiet within WWE. A lot depends on how well his knee heals up but it will be interesting to see if he returns on Monday’s RAW from Canada because that was the most recent date officials wanted him back. Punk would need to return soon if he’s going to have a match on the June 16th Payback pay-per-view, as planned before.

Punk vs Ryback at Payback. Punk will be face (WWE is crazy) and Ryback will be WWE Champ. Everyone will assume Punk is going to win the title since Payback is in his hometown. Shockingly, The Shield interferes and costs Punk the match and the title! Ultimate irony.
